Our nails protect the end of our digits (toes and fingers).
Besides providing protection to the finger ends and top of the fingers/toes, fingernails have an interesting side job. Fingernails can tell a nurse/doctor how well your blood is circulating (capillary refill) and how well you are breathing. Healthy nail beds should return to a normal color after being pressed and released. In airway diseases, like COPD, the ends of the nails can show "clubbing", indicating that the body is not getting enough oxygen.
